Not looked after (8)

Ross

I think it could be either:

Which length description are you looking for?:

8

9

untended

'not looked after' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'not looked after' is the wordplay.
'not' becomes 'un' (I've seen this in other clues).
'looked after' becomes 'tended' (tending is a kind of looking after).
'un'+'tended'='UNTENDED'

(Other definitions for untended that I've seen before include "Neglected" , "Not properly cared for" , "Left without attention or minder" , "Not looked after" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
